I am really REALLY impressed by this figure! For the most part, I've sworn off getting doubles just for displaying both looks due to lack of space these days- but I think with GP He-Man I'm making an exception. The armored-up space suit look was always my favorite on the classic toy, but having recently watched some of the NA episodes, I'm actually digging the ponytail w/harness look, too, and now can't decide which one I prefer! I know ToyGuru's heard it a million times already, and I know the canned response by heart now, but I sincerely wish Mattel would produce a new He-Man 2.0 with this newfangled wrist articulation. The classic He-man needs it more than GP He-Man (though Pixel Dan was right in the review- ALL He-Mans need this!).
Now all this He-Man needs is a proper NA steed... Sagitar, where are you?

This figure turned out great! I wasn't too enthused about it at first, but the detail on this one is amazing. It's funny I think it looks like has giant gorilla hands. Only thing I don't like is that it looks like a letter "M" on his belt.

I got all excited for a new intro too! Can't wait to see it. This figure just looks better and better, especially when placed next to Flipshot and the Space Mutants. May has been overloaded due to Karatti, FFM, and Spirit of Hordak. June is hopefully just Octavia. Then comes July! Clamp Champ! NA He-Man! Icer! Comet Warriors! Mini Masters! It's going to be an expensive couple of months.

Isn't this the first look we've gotten at GP He-Man's bio? It ties into the original NA mini-comic and explains why he's "King He-Man" instead of "King Adam".

EDIT: And if people want to share it with others:

He-Man--Galactic Protector
Real Name: Adam of the House of Randor (TM)

Following the Second Ultimate Battleground, a victorious Skeletor (R) quickly abandoned Eternia (R) after learning of the might of the Horde Empire. Eager to stop his old nemesis, He-Man (R) quickly joined forces with the Galactic Protectors who had arrived through a Laser Gate to seek his aid. Combining his power with that of the Starship Eternia (R), Adam forsook his alternate identity, becoming He-Man (R) permanently. With the triple strength of the Power of the Universe (R), the Elder's Wisdom to tap into hidden magic and now the Energy of Starship Eternia (R), the Most Powerful Man in the Universe (R) is ready to travel through space to capture Skeletor (R) and bring him to justice!

I wonder if we will ever get He-Slave? I think he just needs the new chest harness. I can't recall if he has a different sword. Would make for a neat travelling con exclusive or something, as it requires little tooling.

New chest harness, new sword (the head of the NA Skull Staff as the guard, and a barbed tip.) Sounds like great fodder for a Weapons Pack down the road.
